About This Home
With its stunning architecture, coveted address in Upper Linda Vista, and beautifully-designed outdoor spaces, 1897 Braemar Rd is a secluded Pasadena treasure for those with discerning taste. Designed by esteemed Bel-Air architect Aleck Dugally, whose clients included Sylvester Stallone, Denzel Washington, and Sumner Redstone, this Contemporary Tuscan Villa stands apart with inspired details and a deeply peaceful setting. A grand foyer with a soaring ceiling offers an exquisite welcome. Sunlight pours in from the massive skylight overhead, illuminating the sumptuous travertine floors and offering a prelude to the elegance that awaits within. You'll instantly appreciate how Dugally's semi-open concept layout strikes the perfect balance between spaciousness and separation. The foyer adjoins both the dining room on the right and the sunken living room, which rests straight ahead. The latter offers the perfect setting for an intimate concerto or book reading. A chef-worthy kitchen features a cork floor, top-tier German appliances, and gorgeous wood cabinets. Wrapped in windows and boasting a radiant skylight, this dream kitchen overlooks the breakfast area-your sunlit spot for mindful mornings. Casual relaxation is always on offer in the inviting family room, which includes a large fireplace that creates the perfect ambiance during the winter months. Two bedrooms share a dual-vanity hallway bathroom, while the expansive primary suite is privately tucked on its own wing. This serene retreat is complete with a luxurious spa bath, walk-in closet, and French doors opening to the patio. Step out to your secluded outdoor haven shaded by a Walpole pergola and offering stunning views of the lush greenery in the canyon below. As beautiful as the home's interiors are, its outdoor spaces are equally impressive with expansive patios and decks wrapping all around. The main backyard space showcases modern art in a gorgeous natural setting, with striking abstract sculptures and a statement water feature set amidst lush plantlife. Additional outdoor amenities include a fireplace and numerous lounging areas. The attached two-car garage includes a workshop and an 800-bottle wine cellar to house your collection. A one-of-a-kind residence that imbues your days with beauty and peacefulness, 1897 Braemar is not to be missed.
